This is the first year where I haven't gone anywhere or done anything for Halloween. I dressed up for work, where there was a rather dismal turnout. The office isn't decorated. The apartments around here aren't decorated . . . it's like everyone had too much going on to celebrate the holiday. This makes me a little sad.
I'm dressed up as a kid in pajamas. I was going for a costume that I could make with things in the apartment, was warm, and was comfortable. This fit the bill best. Besides, when else can I go to work in my pajamas?
On a separate note, the house hunting is officially on. We have an agent. We are waiting on our preapproval. We have pages of home listings. I feel so grown up for a person who wore pink pajamas and pigtails to work.

I spent the whole week kinda tired and spacy. I lost a day, either Monday or Tuesday. I literally could not remember on Wednesday if the stuff I had done earlier in the week was on Monday or Tuesday. I slept for about twelve hours last night, which I think helped quite a bit.
Dave and I are going to go see a performance of To Kill a Mockingbird tonight. We decided that there is way too much neat stuff going on in LA for us not to take part in at least some of it. Festivals, plays, opera, etc. This also explains our opera trip about a month ago.
I hope that the performance tonight is good. One of the things I learned in high school is how to spot bad acting. My high school was the performing arts center for the district, and one of the two schools in the county that aspring performers and techies wanted to go to. As such, the quality of performances were pretty damn good, especially considering it was a bunch of teenagers in a high school auditorium. Ever since I graduated, I haven't seen low budget theatre of the same quality. My mom feels the same way. A while back, she went out to a play, came home, and said, "I miss Matt and your friends. They were so much better." I guess we shall see.

Aaaahhhhh, Vegas. I hadn't been in almost two years, and looked forward to a weekend of clubbing, eating crappy food, and gambling. Good stuff.
Facts Learned in Vegas:
-You puke in a club, you get thrown out.
-Outlet shopping is cool, even if you haven't won money.
-Our Pho place in Van Nuys has a branch in Vegas! Yay hot pho after a day of being in cold casinos.
In regards to clubbing, I wasn't so impressed. We hit Rum Jungle Friday night and RA Saturday night. Cover was about average, although we always hope for nights where girls get in for free. Drinks were hella expensive. Five bucks for a bottle of water. Whatever, though. The music was good, the crowd was diverse and interesting, and girls doing acrobatics in tiny outfits at Rum Jungle was entertaining.
Maybe by Friday I'll have caught up on sleep. I got about eight hours total, including an hour nap on Saturday. I feel old.

Mexico was awesome! It was a long drive there and back (mostly due to the number of stops), but once we made it Rosarito, it was a blast. We needed a good weekend of laying out, swimming, horseback ridings, eating tasty mexican food, and crazy drinking. I think I've had my share of avocados for awhile though. I think we made almost a gallon of guac Saturday night.
I don't like Mexican bugs. I look like I have freaking chicken pox on the back of my left foot. Anti-itch cream is a good thing.
Thanks to Greg for organizing the trip, and to Dave, Diana, HT, Vickie, Neil, Jenny, and Palm for making it so fun!
